Three hospitalized after two-car crash

PERKINS TOWNSHIP — Three people were sent to the hospital following a two-vehicle crash on Sunday evening.
The crash, which occurred at 6:20 p.m., happened at the intersection of Route 4 and Route 2, according to State Highway Patrol troopers.
A 1994 Ford Ranger, driven by Zachary McClellan, 18, of Maumee, was driving south on Route 4 when it failed to stop at a red light, hitting a 2008 Chrysler 300 as it turned left from Route 2 to head north on Route 4, troopers said.
The driver of the Chrysler, Kelly Rigoni, 38, of Port Clinton, was taken to Firelands Regional Medical Center by Perkins EMS before being taken by LifeFlight to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland.
McClellan and passenger Kasey Volpitta, 17, of Whitehouse, were taken by Perkins EMS to Firelands Regional Medical Center.
The crash is still being investigated. Troopers said that McClellan was distracted by an object that fell in his Ranger, and that alcohol is not suspected to be a factor.
